Single Motherhood

A boy child that knows only his mother Adored spoiled rotten like no other Obstinate mean ill tempered and rude Manipulative insensitive sloppy and crude Athletic good looking healthy and strong A world ruled by men he'll grow to belong A father's absence he pretends to not care While his heart knows they had much love to share He watches his friends with dads of their own And longs for the father he's never known Was told that drugs took his father away But there's hope for recovery some day Thanks to mentors of the community A boy can learn respect and dignity Thanks to family doing what they can A boy matures and learns to be a man A mature man whose turn it is to show Fatherless boys the proper way to grow
